Adult: The Madness of Crowds, by Louise Penny
Picturebook: The Dinosaur Next Door, by David Litchfield

What a beautiful book! Curiosity piqued!

I was obsessed with WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS.

CORDUROY! Love it!

And when I had kids of my own, I re-purchased copies of my other childhood must-haves: WHOSE MOUSE ARE YOU? (by Robert Kraus and Jose Aruego) [what a groovy vibe!] and MOTHER MOTHER I FEEL SICK SEND FOR THE DOCTOR QUICK QUICK QUICK (by Remy Charlip and Burton Supree). Both have eye-catching art!
